A common complaint about Hollywood is that it doesn't make enough movies for women. The charge is a little limiting in that it suggests women are only interested in so-called women's films, which couldn't be further from the truth. But there's no denying that this week's slate of home-video releases comes with a relatively high testosterone level.

New movies

"Lone Survivor." Peter Berg, a notably visceral filmmaker, was the right choice to direct this exceedingly gritty telling of a 2005 SEALs mission in Afghanistan that, as the film's title suggests, did not end well. Overtly, the movie is not political at all, unless you count the effect that a relentless firefight like the one seen here can have on a viewer. Mark Wahlberg leads a capable cast that also includes Emile Hirsch, Eric Bana, Taylor Kitsch and Ben Foster. "An important reminder of what really happens when we send men and women off to war," Entertainment Weekly's Chris Nashawaty wrote. Rated R for strong bloody war violence and pervasive language. 121 min.

"RoboCop." This title was slammed by critics basically for being a remake of a well-regarded film from 1987, and that's entirely valid. But it also shortchanges this movie, which works respectably well on nearly every count. Part man, part machine, the new RoboCop looks better than he did in 1987, and star Joel Kinnaman is suitably conflicted. Too many of the action scenes look and feel like a video game, but this film is hardly alone today in going that route. Director Paul Verhoeven infused the original movie with a cynicism that's far less evident here. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action including frenetic gun violence throughout, brief strong language, sensuality and some drug material. 117 min.

"Son of God." This condensed version of the History Channel's "Bible" miniseries skimps on just about everything, from an actor (Diogo Morgado) who resembles a surfer dude more than Jesus Christ to a telling of the crucifixion that's remarkably bland. Evangelicals and other religious viewers turned out for this movie in droves, transforming it into a substantial hit, but considering all the compelling stories the Bible tells, this one should have been a lot better. Given the picture's numbers at the box office, there will surely be other opportunities. Rated PG-13 for intense and bloody depiction of the crucifixion, and for some sequences of violence. 138 min.

Old movies

There were only three of them, but Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns - "A Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," all starring Clint Eastwood - were among the most influential films created. And, despite being about 50 years old now, they stand up incredibly well. "The Man with No Name Trilogy" box set, which includes a remastered version of the final film, also includes five hours of special features. ? Arriving on Blu-ray this week are four Alfred Hitchcock titles, "Rear Window" (1954), "Vertigo" (1958), "Psycho" (1960) and "The Birds" (1963). Jerry Lewis's classic comedy "The Nutty Professor" celebrates its 50th anniversary by debuting on Blu-ray as well.

Television

The best television show ever? HBO still has two strong contenders for that endlessly debated title in "The Sopranos" and "The Wire," but the latest entrant, AMC's "Breaking Bad," gets the deluxe treatment this week with all 62 episodes arriving on DVD and Blu-ray. Counting various commentaries, the box set comes with 55 hours of bonus content, including a two-hour documentary about the intense series' final season. ? You may think your dog is really smart, but when it comes to problem-solving it can't compare with the common crow. The PBS science series "Nova" shows birds doing some pretty impressive stuff in the three-hour series "Animal Minds," although dogs and dolphins get their due, too.

Top 10

Here are this week's most popular DVD rentals as compiled by the Internet Movie Database - "The Monuments Men," "Pompeii," "Ride Along," "About Last Night," "That Awkward Moment," "The Nut Job," "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," "I, Frankenstein," "Devil's Due" and "Vampire Academy."
